DAOC: Uthgard Revamp

[FoxxHound]

^^ DAoC has always been about making wise choices for your playstyle. Even when ToA came out artifacts had cooldown timers like RAs. You have to choose the right time to use them when they are needed.
Hell even with stats you are making a choice. It's not like you can have +500 str. So you need to try to hit cap, and then figure out what you want for your next stat or resist cap. Yay for DAoC min-maxing.

[Scrooge]

It's true that stats are important, but some people go crazy with the min-maxing, when there's really no need. One other thing I need to add to the gear/stat sphere, is that there is a limit to how much benefit each stat can gain from item stat bonuses, that limit is 75 on Uthgard @ L50. So if you have enough gear to have +100 str, you'll still only get the benefit of 75 max, that's why the initial stat placement on char creation, will affect how far you can take it later on.

Every level your item/buff stat bonus cap is increased, that cap is also there for stats from buffs, so if you're being buffed by high level buffs, you won't get the full benefit either. The only buffs that give "full benefit" regardless of target level are non-stat buffs; POM (purity of mind, aka clarity), Haste, Resist buffs, and Songs/Chants.

Not trying to start a fight, but this is exactly the kind of person I DON'T want to play with. Makes you sound extremely closed-minded and elitist by advertising that way, and also you'll be spreading out the already-limited population of U.S. / P99 players that will be on Uthgard anyway.

Scrooge I'll probably be playing either Eldritch or a Hero / BM for RvR. I might make a Warden after a while though :P

Someone definitely should be a Warden, especially if we end up with a melee heavy group. Those Damage Add chants, PBT, and heals will help a shitload, not to mention its a flexible class. Every time I played Hib, we always had a Warden, and it helped tremendously in PvE and PvP both, it's a very underrated class imo.

I agree with you, I absolutely love the Warden class. But others don't seem to agree with me, and therefore it makes it hard to get into any RvR group that isn't with my friends. You know how the typical euro mindset is, locked into one style of gameplay, like you mentioned somewhere earlier.

We can probably find a Warden in-game, if our roster won't have one going in already, but it's never just that simple, cause they'd have to be compatible with our time-zones and play times if we want to have one in our permanent group.

TWF would be great to have in RvR anyway, for those who don't know what that is, it's a class-unique Warden RA, ThornWeed Field; a huge stationary pbaoe snare-field, snares & damages anyone who gets caught in it, lasts 30s, damage pulse every 5s.

pretty cool revival, how far does this go in terms of expansions?

I played an infiltrator to RR7 back in the day, but ill probably do midgard this time around
